Kerala Appam

I have already shared a recipe for soft and pillowy palappams here. But I recently tried out this recipe, and while the taste was almost similar, the appams were definitely much, much softer.

Tofu and Capsicum Curry

My son loves paneer and demands paneer curry (or pizza, if he is feeling lucky) almost every weekend. In an attempt to make a healthy curry, I substituted paneer with tofu and paired it with whole wheat Kerala porotta instead of plain flour ones. He heard me blabber about the substitutions and pulle
